Pros: The location is fantastic. Right off Lake Shore Drive at Hyde Park Blvd. A little tricky to get to because of one-ways and no outlet streets but once you find it, it's easy. Pool is huge and clean! The Lake Shore Cafe was great too but it gets real busy!
Cons: This hotel is attached to La Quinta Hotel which from the outside looks much nicer. The Lake Shore hotel rooms are very dated, smell a little musty, but it was clean as I said above, the location is great!
4,8 Okay
Pros: Easy to get to. Free parking at the hotel.
Cons: Roomy smelled musty. Furnishings and carpet were old and in poor condition. Staff was non-existent. Hotel smelled strongly of cigarettes and weed.
5,4 Okay
Pros: The location was perfect for my short visit.
Cons: I didn’t like the stains in the tub and how firm the bed was. My room was 515 so I heard everything from other people coming and going into the hotel building and up the stairs located right outside my door.

Pros: Room was clean. Most of the staff was nice.
Cons: Wasn't told about breakfast coupons. Fell in the parking lot because of an oil spill. Didn't even get to see the accident report. Had to ask several times for a cloth to wipe the oil off my hands & boots which might be ruined now. Shuttles ran late. Bed was uncomfortable. Refrigerator too loud, kept me awake. No complary tea, only dark roast coffee.
